Pet Sitting Dunns

“Words cannot adequately capture how superb James was. I had so much anxiety leaving my babies to take a vacation, but it’s clear I had nothing to worry about with James. He was kind, caring, and attentive to the intricacies of managing my four pets. I’ve had a lot of people pet sit in the past, including friends and family, but nobody has done it better than James. I cannot recommend him highly enough!”

“Super reliable. Goes above and beyond what I expected from a rover sitter. Took lots of great picture of the dogs on thier walk. Would recommend and will hire again.”

“Tova did an excellent job! She came on time to our consultation and to all our scheduled visits. She was very kind and patient with my nervous dog, Ellie, but that quickly became good friends! Tova left very nice detailed report cards on what her and Ellie did. I will definitely be inviting Tova back for more walks!”

“Cheyenne is literally an angel to us. After working from home for 5 years I was really worried to leave my (perfect) dog at home alone all day. That worry disappeared the moment we met Cheyenne! She is professional, reliable, trustworthy and so gentle and loving with him. She sends the most lovely updates for each visit and we are so thankful. It is obvious how much she cares for animals but also how obvious they care for her.”

“Christine provided excellent service from start to finish! She was always responsive, communicative, and genuinely kind and attentive to our pets. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I am a responsible, reliable, hard-working, and deeply caring person with a love for pets and animals! I grew up taking care of the family dog, adopted and trained my German Sheperd mix, and now have a puppy I am training. I also currently have 4 lovely cats. 🙂 I will listen to all my client's requests and specific needs for taking care of their beloved pet(s)! I am always attentive to the pets that are within my care. I understand that each pet has their own specific needs and quirks. A pawsitive experience for the animal and their owner is my top priority. I also am very attentive to certain training your pup may be practicing while they are in my care, if requested. :) I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I also sometimes work part time from home, which means I am more available to keep an eye on your pets needs. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I love to take doggos on field trips too! So the combo means your pup gets lot of exercise, socializing, adventure and exploring! Our field trips are usually to a local trail, averaging about 1.5 to 2 miles. I also always have treats on hand for the pups.

“Julianne was wonderful! My kitties ended up warming right up to her and they were happy to have her around. She was very good at keeping me updated and sent me lots of photos. Highly recommended and will absolutely use her again if she's available! ?”

“Ashley was a pleasure to have care for my cats. Can always tell if a person is a cat lover, Very professional, careful, prompt. Even my most timid cat came out to visit. I would highly recommend, and I am very selective with who takes care of my critters!”

Nancy P.

“Knowing that Katie was coming over to tend to our dog put my mind at ease and made our vacation so much more enjoyable! She was very detail oriented and covered all the details before coming since it was our first visit. Will most definitely use her services again!”

“Avital was a great, reliable, and communicative sitter! They did drop in visits 3 times a day for my dog and rabbit, and I was always assured they were being cared for. Both animals warmed up to Avital very quickly and were completely comfortable with them coming into the house after we left.”

About: I had had cats for as long as I can remember, I have also had Guinea pigs and 45 chickens at one point in time I am currently a full time student at central Maine community college so my schedule carries, but I am always available after 2pm. I have modays and Fridays free and I am available most of the day on Wednesday I have 2 cats currently and my girlfriend has 2 dogs. I make sure that all of the animals in my life get plenty of play time and attention.

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have owned my sweet (sensitive) Pitt bull mix for 10 years. I have lots of experience caring for my own dog and the pets of friends and family. I am great with temperamental/needy animals as well as high energy dogs - happy to take long walks or simply feed and play with a cat! I am self employed and create my own schedule, except for 2 nights a week when I have an evening shift at a restaurant. My routine during the day is often flexible and open. I can make a lot of different schedules fit, depending on the day or week! I care deeply for animals and want them to be cared for, safe, and comfortable. I know from experience that routine and attention are really important for our pets, and feel a great sense of responsibility as a pet care provider.

About: I have spent my career caring for children and dogs and love to build relationships with families. I ran an in home daycare for years and have also been a preschool teacher, an ed tech and a behavioral health professional. I have been walking dogs and providing pet care for the last six years! I enjoy being active and getting pets out to exercise in all weather. After the passing of my dog of eighteen years, my family found Roxie. She is now five years old. My three children and I truly worship her and build our time and activities around her! I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I promise he/she will be showered with love, warmth, patience and fresh air!

“Brooke was terrific! She sent us plenty of photos, kept us up-to-date on our diabetic cat and was very comfortable calling or texting with questions (since we hadn't provided all of the answers). She was on time and extremely caring. We'll definitely be hiring her again.”

About: All Paws Welcome! I have been taking care of all dogs and cats since a very young age. I grew up helping out with my aunts pet sitting business. I have a year of experience in starting my own business and am trying to build. I am available for pop in visits, dog walks and overnight home care for any needs your pet may have. Down the road I plan to be offering play groups as well I am available Thurs- Saturday from 8am - 5 pm for any pet care needs you may have. I also have a part time job that is secondary Mon-Wed. I do not offer overnight stays at my home currently. I always approach my home care with comfort and care. I have a friendly corgi that can keep your dog company but I of course know every dog is different and I always want them to feel relaxed and cozy in their environment.

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for families in Portland on and off for the past two years, along with caring for dogs in my own family. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies and energetic younger dogs to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentleness, and care. I’m attentive, loving, and gentle, with a strong ability to read dogs’ cues and recognize what they need to feel comfortable and happy. I understand that younger dogs may need plenty of activity and playtime, while older dogs often benefit from a calm, patient sitter who moves at their pace and provides a warm, reassuring presence. Every pet and family has their own routines, preferences, and expectations. I’m committed to following your instructions carefully and caring for your dog the way you would, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home! I work remotely from 9–5 Monday through Friday, so I’m available every evening and on weekends for pet care. Since I work from home, I’m also happy to provide longer daytime stays or overnight care, as long as I’m able to work from your home. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication for every pet in my care. Before a booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, exercise preferences, and any potential concerns. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and keep a close eye on pets so I can respond quickly if anything seems unusual. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep doors, gates, and other escape routes secure, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets have access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable place to rest. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away!

“Lauren took good care of my dog Titus, while I was away, and I could not have been more pleased with the experience. She was incredibly attentive and loving, taking the time to understand my dog's needs and personality. She provided regular updates and cute photos, which really put my mind at ease. I could see that Titus was happy and well cared for. Upon return, Titus seemed relaxed and content, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Lauren.”
